As a plant slowly an imperceptibly moves towards the light, so does society move towards what our social leaders follow. Media has now become more social than anything else, therefore what "most people believe' has become the new gold standard backdrop, to the true facts of matter at hand.-AhMbDvd-6/17/11 8:50am

Torah and Science: Scientific Progress from the Geocentric to the Heliocentric Descriptions of the Solar System

It is often asked how the Torah deals with empirically proven scientific discoveries that seem to contradict the traditional teachings of Judaism.
